Specifically designed for precision mould applications, the Alumec range has been developed to combine high strength and mechanical stability with outstanding machinability. Over the three decades since the brand's introduction, new Alumec alloys have been developed to satisfy the enhanced performance requirements of specific moulding technologies, such as improved weldability and resistance to stress corrosion or sustained high temperatures.

For the specifier, this gives the reassurance of knowing that the performance characteristics of an Alumec mould will exactly match process requirements every time, with all that implies in terms of reliable long-term operation. Alumec alloys are supplied fully heat treated, with no further treatment required.
